In a court of law you must prove beyond reasonable doubt that a rape occurred. It is surely upsetting for the victim when this cannot happen and a guilty rapist is allowed free, but I'd rather that happen than an innocent person be found guilty. Always.
In a court of law you must curry the favor and sympathy of the jury. "Guilty rapists" are "set free" Tibs? "I can't remember" doesn't, to my mind, look to be a very effective defense. I agree that it would be difficult to imagine a way to proceed with such a case as either the prosecution or the defense, if I'd put all of my chips in with a persons personal testimony as to whether or not they remember the night in question.
(I think you'd make a great judge btw Tibs...but probably a shitty lawyer.....glowing praise in some circles..lol)
